Collection of Semen
The semen is collected and then the sperm are checked for motility at this stage.
Canine Breeding Services are equipped with the latest apparatus for the correct processing, freezing and evaluation of semen from your stud dog.
Filling of straws
The diluted semen will be packaged into 0.5 ml plastic straws. Each straw is printed with information relating to the stud dog. The printed straws are then placed in a machine that will fill and seal each one.
Freezing
The straws containing the semen are then placed into liquid nitrogen to freeze the semen At this temperature the sperm are in suspended animation. The sperm will remain viable indefinitely at this temperature and will not degrade or perish. The semen can be used to inseminate bitches many years after it was collected from the stud.
Evaluation
After freezing, 2 straws from each ejaculate are tested
The motility is assessed visually.
Sperm Count Assessment
The number of live, normal sperm post-thaw in each dose can then be calculated .
Storage
After semen has successfully passed the post thaw evaluation assessments, the semen is stored
